Hey guys. I switched from regular sit ups to weighted sit ups recently and have had some interesting results. When I first started I used 35 lbs and was able to do sets of 10 fairly easily. Next time I switched to 60 lbs and got through 1 set before I couldn't even get a single rep after that. I dont have the weights do slowly add weight between those two weights, so I tried mixing sets with weight from both. However, this hasn't worked well as I have found that doing the 60s really messes with following reps. I will do 3 reps of 60 then switch to 35 and I can barely lift the 35 at all. I will get like 1-2 more reps. The simple solution is to just buy more weights, but I thought I would ask you folks if you had any advice for tackling this workout. Any anecdotes, past experiences, etc. are welcome. Cheers!
